Every year around the same time, my phone starts ringing differently. It’s not the usual clogged garbage disposal or a toilet that won’t stop running — it’s water showing up where it has no business being. A backyard that won’t drain. A sewer cleanout bubbling. A garage floor with an inch of standing water after […]

If you’ve lived in San Jose for a while, you’ve probably had a sink that drains slowly. Not completely clogged, but slower than normal. At first, it may not seem like a big problem. The water still goes down, just not as quickly as it should. This is how many drain problems begin. Most slow […]
